    Frequently asked questions

    How long is the driving time from Muscat?

    The journey from Muscat to Wadi Bani Khalid takes about 2.5 to 3 hours each way. The drive between the wadi and the desert takes another 45 minutes. Because it’s a full-day tour, expect to spend around 6 to 7 hours total in the vehicle, but the shifting mountain, oasis, and desert scenery makes the time fly.

    2. What is the dress code for swimming in Wadi Bani Khalid?

    Oman is a conservative country, and Wadi Bani Khalid is a local community area.

    • For Women: Standard bikinis or one-piece swimsuits are not allowed. You must wear a T-shirt and shorts (covering knees and shoulders) over your swimwear. High-coverage burkinis are also perfect.

    • For Men: Avoid speedos; swim shorts or board shorts paired with a T-shirt are expected.

    • Bring a dry change of clothes, as there are changing facilities available at the wadi.

    What should we pack for the day?

    • Footwear: Water shoes or sturdy sandals with good grip for the slippery rocks at the wadi, plus comfortable shoes for the hot desert sand.

    • Sun Protection: High-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat.

    • Gear: A waterproof bag or phone pouch for the wadi pools, and a lightweight jacket or scarf (the desert can get surprisingly windy).
